Sony | Video Journalist Backpack – turnkey solution in one bag

Sony | Micro Site NXCAM & AVCHD. I saw a tweet about this yesterday and I have to say Im impressed with Sony taking the initiative to offer an all-in-one VJ BACKPACK SOLUTION. The kit is built around the HXR-NX30 which shoots AVCHD – this is an issue for older NLEs like Media Composer Pre Version6. That said with a list price of around €5,000 all in, its damn competitive and aimed, I would imagine, at the growing demand for multimedia content on newspaper and radio websites. It remians to be seen will TV stations adopt the HXR-NX30 in place of the PMW-200 or the EX3…Unlikely in my opinion – but maybe Sony will anticipate this and offer a PRO version of the bag with one of these cameras instead??

Hi there! I am a market development manager for Sony and we initially developed this specific kit as a request by some of our university customers with communication programs. This kit can be found here: http://bit.ly/GrabandGo Also we just announced that Gray Television CBS affiliate in Tallahassee WCTV has bought the backpacks as well! http://bit.ly/WCTVonthego

At the request from some of our customers we are also creating a version of the kit for the PMW200 so stay tuned for more!
